Built to replicate one of the most influential rods of the 1990sand#44; this 1933 Ford roadsterand#44; also known as the SpeedStarand#44; is a show-stopper that will make the driver grin every time he takes it out. From the 383 stroker motor to the ostrich leather interior to the cleanand#44; uncluttered lookand#44; this rod gets everything right. Youve probably heard of Bobby Allowayand#44; and his original design of the SpeedStar was so amazing that they pulled fiberglass molds and let mere mortals build their own versions. This one is beautifully done with fantastic bodywork and zero changes from the award-winning Alloway formula. Of courseand#44; that chameleon paint gives it a very trick lookand#44; ranging from blue to purple to green depending on how the light hits it. Contrasting with the simple silver body sides makes for great interest as you move around the rod. The body lines are tightand#44; the cool windshield is curvedand#44; which makes it stand out from the usual flat glass hot rod lookand#44; and the cut-down 33 Ford grille works better here than on almost any other rod youre likely to see. Its beautifully finished and ready to show at just about any leveland#44; although this car was built for the roadand#44; so it would be a shame to relegate it to trailer queen status. The stunning interior is as restrained as the body is radical. The low-back bucket seats were custom-built just for this car and blend seamlessly into the bodyworkand#44; with a custom center console and waterfall between them. Thats leather and ostrich skin for an exotic look and the door panels were created to match with a simpleand#44; unadorned look. A tilt column with a billet steering wheel reaches out to meet you as you climb inand#44; and the beautiful center-mounted gauge panel is full of Dolphin dials with a cool retro look. Those seats are heated for chilly evenings and there are seat beltsand#44; so this really is a car you can use as a real car and its surprisingly comfortable in the cockpit thanks to the steeply raked windshield. With the rumbling V8 under the hoodand#44; theres really no need for a stereo systemand#44; but it does have a power-actuated trunk thats as beautifully finished as the interior. For powerand#44; it uses a bulletproof and burly 383 cubic inch Chevy stroker motor with enough torque to launch this lightweight sportster like a slingshot. With aluminum headsand#44; an Edelbrock intake and 4-barrel carburetorand#44; and plenty of chrome and billet aluminum detailsand#44; its definitely show-worthy under the hood. Youll also note that the two-tone color scheme continues on the firewall and it all has a very high-tech look that seems to suit the SpeedStar look rather well. The detailed and sturdy fabricated frame offers a 700R4 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission and a sturdy GM 10-bolt rear endand#44; along with boxed frame rails and a great-sounding exhaust system. Coil-overs front and rear allow you to fine-tune the ride qualityand#44; although youll be surprised by how well this one feels going down the road. With rack-and-pinion steering and front disc brakesand#44; its also sports car sharp and has a traditional hot rod look with staggered Billet Specialties wheels and modern performance rubber. This is your chance to own a legend and have it actually measure up. Big powerand#44; beautiful finish qualityand#44; and a tasteful but arresting color combination make this 1933 Ford roadster a winner in anyones book. Call today! |
